If you prevent them from acting as servers, it will prevent you from using the programs to work as a two way communication system (phone), as preventing it will block outgoing traffic, and you need the program to be able to send your voice out.
Firefly / iaxComm / ZoneAlarm / disallow server

I'm currently using Firefly and iaxComm softphones. I've configured my firewall (ZoneAlarm) to prevent these apps from acting as servers. What functions will I be missing? All I require is a facility for making outbound international calls.
Is there a FAQ for this group, or a recommended primer for a VoIP novice?

Skype and iaxComm both work OK with server disabled. I haven't tried Firefly yet. Skype has a file transfer feature - I suspect this function will fail if server mode is disallowed.

Firefly is OK, too.
